Reef sometime around 11 August 1842
from CAMA "We are trying to trace our ancestors, who were pioneers on the Martha Ridgway in 1842 and they landed in Nelson coming from Burton on Trent, England. All I have is a name, we think she went back to England on the Martha Ridgway which sank in the Torres Strait, on the return journey. Can you help to fill in the blanks. We don't even have a marriage document."

Our mystery is Sarah Inkersell. She went missing about 1845, when she discovered her husband was having an affair. Did she move to the Canterbury region to be with relatives, as assumed, or did she die? And when Charles remarried, did he divorce Sarah? Was he a bigamist? So far, none of our research has located her. CAMA. Sarah had person sources.3 She immigrated to ENG to NZ on the Martha Ridgeway arriving NZ 7/4/1842 on 6 November 1841.1
